Martin Bridge, Steel truss bridge in Taree, Australia.
The Martin Bridge extends 463 meters across the Manning River with eleven spans supported by concrete pillars and three additional steel girder approach sections.
The bridge opened in May 1940, replacing a steam-driven ferry service that had operated since 1902, marking a significant change in local transportation.
The structure carries the name of Lewis Ormsby Martin, who served as secretary for public works and minister for local government in New South Wales.
The bridge connects both sides of Manning River Drive, providing essential access for local traffic since the Pacific Highway rerouting in 1997.
The original design featured a central lifting span with two concrete counterbalances to allow passage of ships along the Manning River waterway.
